Ensuring Automatic Restart of the Management Agent

In a production deployment, configure the management agent to restart
automatically. Doing so ensures the availability of the management agent in
case the ma process fails or the operating system reboots.

On Windows platforms, once you have started the management agent as
a service, use the Windows administrative tools to set the service Startup
type to “Automatic,” and then set desired Recovery options.

On Solaris and Linux platforms, use the procedures in this section,
to configure automatic restart of the management agent. These procedures ensure
the management agent starts only when the system enters:

Runlevel 3 on Solaris (the default).

Runlevel 5 on RedHat Linux (the default in graphical mode).

Entering other runlevels stops the management agent.

To check the default runlevel of your system, inspect the file /etc/inittab , and look for a line near the top similar to this:
